"Same sex marriage could not be a recognized right."

 
   Same-sex marriage legislation is a very controversial subject and it becomes a hot potato between a theists and religious persons. I am not a theist but I strongly believe that same-sex marriage should not be recognized legally, socially, or customarily.
   First, marriage between two people who has the same sex has influences on their family, especially their offspring. Originally, the role in family is different from each other. However, in homosexual families, it has barely seen the different roles of parents. Furthermore, they cannot have a baby physically, so they have to adopt a baby. The environment is very important to form one’s personality and values. They will compare their parents to other couples and ask why they have two husbands or wives.
   Next, the principle of marriage could be destroyed by any revision of the marriage law. If same-sex couples want to look for a surrogate mother and have a child that breaks the rule of marriage. The right of making life should not be invaded by making lives artificially. If surrogacy is legalized, it could threat the value of life and there will be many unacceptable things such as commercializing babies.
   All of us live in 2013. It is important to protect our right to enjoy equality and freedom. However, we need to consider our second generation and effects which influence on our existing social system. Human being is very social creatures as we know.

"Homosexual marriage should be prohibited by national law."

 
   From the early beginning of the twenty-first century, some countries, such as Canada, Spain, and Sweden began to legalize homosexual marriage, sparking debate all over the world. Although a friendly atmosphere has been sensed in some part of the world, I believe that homosexual marriage has to be prohibited by national law.
   To begin with, homosexual marriage is contrary to the law of nature. As we all know, humans are one kind of natural life, and has survived through reproduction. To be specific, all animals and plants in our world are composed of two sexes, male and female. We also can carry on our own family line by getting married. However, in a homosexual marriage, we can’t expect this.
   Also, homosexual marriage will cause ethical issues in many ways. Homosexual couples will look for a surrogate mother to make their baby and this baby after enough growth, will be confused about his or her identity. Their son or daughter will notice their parents are unusual, compared with parents of other friends and this will create confusion in values. Finally, homosexual marriage not only creates confusion privately, but also shakes the root of society, causing great confusion socially.
